Well I've got a Buddel, two Robert Williams, a Josh Earl and a Mastro Livi. I also have a Zowada in the post. I can't answer if they shave any better than a Wacker as I've never used a Wacker. One of the best shaving straights I have is a Wostenholm frameback. It gives a magnificent shave. Do these shave any better than that? No, I don't think so. Having said that, they are all excellent shavers though.
But owning a custom razor isn't just about the shave quality. It's about having an individual piece of craftsmanship in your hands that someone has put alot of effort into making. Have a look at an Alex Jaques custom straight. They are things of beauty and so individual. I can't wait to get one of them one day.
A Toyota Yaris will get me to work as fast as an S65 AMG Mercedes but I know which one I'd rather drive
